AIRBENCH has announced the release of a major upgrade to its VertEx modular cross-draught extraction system. VertEx is a self-contained extraction and filtration system that draws dust and fumes in through its ventilated front face, capturing them within internal panel filters, and returning clean air to the room. Multiple VertExes can be used to create large extracted booths, or single units can be used directly behind an operator to allow at-source extraction from dusty processes.

The 2014 model VertEx features a fully modular construction, allowing for rapid delivery of a unit built to each customer’s specification. The modular approach extends to combining multiple units – creating dust control booths of any size is now possible with minimal assembly time, and standardised rapid-fit enclosure options further increase flexibility.
